I can not get over how great this table is! First of all, there are not a lot of options out there for pet grooming tables, suitable for a home groomer. Secondly, the ones that are out there have a next loop but not a second loop to stop the dog from sitting down. This table really is sturdy, and all you have to do once it arrives is set up the cross bars.  I thought I wouldn't use the shelf underneath but it turns out it is so easy to get on and off, I installed it, kept thing on it, and then removed it easily when I stored the table.  The table stores neatly under my bed, too.  I have a Wheaten terrier and using this table twice will save me money over grooming; what a deal.
